Snowman Stair Step Card

My project today is a snowman stair step card with lots of trees, bunnies and a red truck in the background.  I used Rubbernecker Stamps Snowman, Tree in Oval, Truck, Deckle Hills, Bunnies and Small Birds.  I stamped a soft blue falling snow background using the Splatter Background although I covered most of it up with the trees.  I tucked the red truck in the back of the scene to add an additional touch of red and interest.

The Card Base, Snow Layers and Trees

• Apply Tumbled Glass ink to the Splatter Background and stamp it to cover the inner stair step card base.
• Fold the card base score lines to create the steps.
• Cut the snow layers using the Deckle Hills and attach them to the front and inner steps using double stick tape.
• Use green cardstock to cut several trees from the Tree in Oval set.
• Tuck the trees in behind the snow layers and attach to the card base using strips of mounting tape.

The Snowman and Truck

• Cut the snowman parts using white, red, black, Kraft and gingham paper.
• Attach the two smaller body parts together using glossy accents.
• Attach the nose, eyes and mouth pieces to the face using glossy accents.
• Use mounting tape to attach the hat and earmuffs to the snowman head.
• Cut the truck using red, black and white cardstock.
• Attach the fender to the truck base using strips of rolled up double stick tape.
• Attach the tires to the truck base using glossy accents.
• Use mounting tape to attach the truck and snowman to the card base.

The Bunnies and Cardinals

• Use white cardstock to cut the bunnies.
• Cut the birds using red cardstock and apply black to their beaks using a Copic marker.
• Apply small pieces of mounting tape to the back of the birds and attach to the card base and tree.
